Maybe that WAS from the night before?

On another note: for some reason CPF has uncharacteristically not been sending me updates as people have posted on the PF18 thread, so I've fallen behind. I'll reply to as many back pasts as I can this afternoon, but sorry if I miss yours for some reason.

For now, one particular person has suggested that perhaps all roads lead to PF18? Or something like that at least...

Well Mac is coming and bringing a handle for my Hellfighter. I can't wait. Does anyone have 4x 26650s to power it up so we can play with it? I havent bought any yet and it is too close to PF18.

Re: PF18! Flashaholic Get Together: NJ, NY, PA, CT Area +

copperfox, I only have a X200, TLR-1, and TLR-4 (TLR has laser) I will bring them along with my other weapon lights. Oh yeah I have a Ti CR123 Quark body. I will bring it so you can try it out.

If anyone wants to car pool from putnam-westchester NY let me know PM so we can work it out
Just know I tend to stay till the early morning hours

I dont mind driving down but I dont plan to stay out too late. I have a shooting match on Sunday in Croton-on-Hudson. But if you want to carpool, PM me.

I think I have another 4 26650's I could bring...I have ~ 6 for the Big Bruiser and at least 4 for the 4Sevens S10 and S12's.

Remind me so I don't forget to pack them.

That would be fantastic. Yes please bring them. How shall I remind you?

I have the Orange 26650 cells from Batteryspace.com (I think they are teal now) 6 or 8 of them, I'll have them with me.
Do you have a battery carrier made or should I bring a 1" PVC tube? Connector Wires?

Any last minute requests for plates, cups, napkins, etc? I'm probably going to bring my wife and two boys along so they can see what this PF thing is all about. I may have to cut out early if they don't find it as wildly exciting as I do! :P

I should be good. The handle holds 4x26650s like a big maglite.

Re: PF18! Flashaholic Get Together: NJ, NY, PA, CT Area +

So what's the latest? Has everyone gathered yet? I should hopefully be there in a few hours. Here's the list of gear I'll be bringing for show and tell (unless someone has already brought any of these then I won't bother):

Re: PF18! Flashaholic Get Together: NJ, NY, PA, CT Area +

Made it out out to the Milky Lab for a few hours with my Wife, a nice, scenic 175 mile roundtrip on the Goldwing. Nice to put some faces to names finally! Got a bit cool on the ride home, but not bad. Nice to see so many cool lights in one place, you guys make me look good! So many Nerf guns, too... Wish I could have stayed for the Quarry trip, maybe next time. Dave's Volt was neat, and I got to see a Titanium Innovations L35, and IIRC a BVH? Ma_Sha's light with the MASSIVE aspheric? Wow... And the only modded Infinity Ultra I've seen, ceracoated no less! Kid in a candy store and all... Good to meet everyone, had fun, looking forward to next time. Thanks to the Clawson's for your hospitality!

I'll try to post all the part numbers later but again, it's literally:
- 3 x 4" 90 deg elbows, two are M to F and one is F to F connections
- any old piece of glass plate at least 4" wide
- your light meter of choice that is good for measuring LED's
- and last but not least a decently regulated light w/a known value

Thx again goes to Scott and his family for hosting. It's my first but certainly won't be my last!

P.S. @ KartRacer - EYE30 review is here, (XTAR S1 is still in the pipeline).
